We watch the series as well, and now that it has become the target of creationists, I'm certain Tyson will again soon be one of Bill Maher's guests. He has appeared several times, and it's always a terrific show when he sits on the panel. Cosmos is well done and most informative.

"I think I may say that of all the men we meet with, nine parts of ten are what they are, good or evil, useful or not, by their education." John Locke

I only caught the first episode, but am recording the rest to catch up. I am hooked.

It is a shame that the fundies draw such a disproportionate share of news coverage, considering that Tyson as well as most religious people feel that religion and science need not contradict each other.

I think the first episode would have been better served if it spent less time on the Giordano Bruno narrative and a little time on Monseigneur Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, who was actually responsible for the concepts of Hubble's Law, the Hubble Constant and the Big Bang Theory.

Ironic how the fundies demand equal time for creationism in programming but never want to give evolution equal time in their programming.

They told me if I voted for Hillary Clinton the president would be emotional, impulsive, and unpredictable. They were right. I voted for Hillary Clinton and got a president that is emotional, impulsive, and unpredictable.
